EdgarusQPFC Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) I wasn't overly impressed, it felt like they squashed a 2 hour long story into an hour. Perhaps it's cause I haven't seen series 7 but I felt a little lost at some of the events Edited December 25, 2013 by EdgarusQPFC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badmonkey Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Certainly one of smiths best. Capaldi came in looking fuckin' nuts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMjag Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Tied up some serious loose ends, really enjoyed it and can't wait for the new series 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happysouth Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Wasnt the whole point of the story that if he said his name then the timelords would know he was there and come through the crack? So why didnt they come through the crack, when they obviously knew he was there, when they sent through the regen energy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Wasnt the whole point of the story that if he said his name then the timelords would know he was there and come through the crack? So why didnt they come through the crack, when they obviously knew he was there, when they sent through the regen energy? Cause Clara offered them all a I tire of her without the tardis tone ting clothes onto her. * *which idiot at the BBC felt that was a good idea btw, should have demanded it all be done naked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dryhorce Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Good to see Peter Capaldi not speak like a southern poof like how Tennent played him shameless -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Lanarkshire Jag Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I felt a little lost at some of the events Like when? Why does the TARDIS always have to be crashing at a regen? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
port-ton Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Much better than the usual tripe we usually get at christmas. Did think they tried to fit too much in and there were too many winks at previous episodes but at the same time they were pretty enjoyable. You can only really compare this to other xmas episodes and well at least Katherine Jenkins singing didnt save the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Didnt expect Karen Gillan to make an appearance. Thought that was good, but they could have maybe made it half hour longer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoopy1967 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Good episode, definitely one of the best Christmas ones. Also as Widge said, all of Clara's scene's should gave been done naked 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I've always thought Jason Isaacs would make a great Master, seeing him in Harry Potter the now reminded me of this. Probably too big a name for the show I'd imagine.Hello to Jason Isaacs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~~~ Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 The regeneration limit thing always annoyed me, kinda wish they just glossed over it, especially since we've seen Matt regenerating in An impossible astronaut, trying to do it in Lets kill Hitler and he mentioned he could at any time during A nightmare in silver Still though, I really liked the final 10 mins, too stuff and a cracking send off for him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confidemus Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Guess I must be alone in my opinion. I thought that was a steaming pile of horseshit. As is so often the case with Doctor Who Christmas specials, I was left very very disappointed. Very poorly written, disjointed in places, Clara's family were predictable and dreadful and so many things were just left without explanation. Plus Matt Smith's prosthetics were shite. The only saving grace was the regen energy coming through the crack in the sky and Peter Capaldi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoopy1967 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Does he now have another 12 regenerations or was that just a single regeneration the Time Lords sent through? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
